What if the real dangers to your child's future aren't the things you worry about every day-but the ones you don't even know to see?
Parenting Blind Spots: 25 Things Parents Don't Know That They Don't Know (That Can Hurt Their Children) is a research-based, easy-to-read parenting book that translates complex child development and education research into practical steps any parent can use.
Most parenting advice focuses on behavior or test scores. This book uncovers 25 invisible traps-from screen-time myths to teacher bias, from overhelping with homework to ignoring mental health-that can quietly hurt your child's academic success, motivation, and well-being.
Each chapter includes:- A short story that feels like real family life
- Clear, plain-language explanations of evidence-based parenting research
- How the issue shows up at home and in school
- Reflection questions to spot your own parent blind spots
- Concrete school success strategies and language shifts you can start using right away
- Help your child do better in school and enjoy learning
- Balance homework and grades with mental health and social-emotional learning
- Support raising resilient kids instead of anxious perfectionists
- Work more effectively in parent-teacher relationships and navigate systems that aren't always fair
If you want more than generic advice-and you're ready for clear, compassionate, evidence-based guidance on helping kids in school-this book will give you the insight and the tools to protect your children from what you didn't know you didn't know.
